Dear Gaspar, Gr8 to know that Gulab celebrations are taking place in Q8 with Mangaloreans and Goans coming together to celebrate Konkani. One small details seems to have been skipped: GULAB is printed in the Roman Script; the Official Language of Goa is defined as "Konkani written in the Devanagri script." So technically, the 'Konkani' written in the Gulab is NOT the 'official language' of Goa, which please note. The SCRIPT is an issue with the Official Languagge Act, 1987 ....and Devanagri script is supported by the Gulab editor and publishers, while printing in Roman script to grab the readership in Goa and the Gulf countries. Therein lies the rub. Mog asundi. Miguel
